Hannam Saemal Cafe, which was the first completed Hangang viewing cafe, and is the ideal place to rest on a river walk. The cafe building is four-stories high with public spaces on the first two floors and the cafe itself on the third and fourth floors, the latter of which is an indoor viewing deck affording wonderful views of the Han River, Hannamdaegyo Bridge and Namsan Mountain.
The weather was so good, and I sketched a lot of attractive sceneries around the cafe here and there excitingly. Welcome to new participants and hope to continue seeing!

Angel's Trumpet at botanical garden in Children's Grand Park

pencil & watercolor, 27 x 39 cm

I saw this flower in the corner of botanical garden. The shape was perfect to appreciate. Visitors seemed to know the name. They were fond of my drawing too saying 'The picture looks better than the real one.' How can it be! The natural feature is the best and perfect.

I sketched these ones in a bus (401) freely with pencil(6B) and washed at home with watercolor. I captured the rough images in a bus. The streets were very beutiful with yellow leaves of trees.

aerial ladder for moving

pencil and watercolor, A 4

An office at banpo building located at Nonhyundong was moving using aerial ladder. Moving gives interesting subjects for sketchers. Trucks, ladders, laborers, desks, and other belongings form many kinds of composition in the open space. Today I saw this scene. I started at once and finished with watercolors. Men related with the work came and saw the drawing. When I left they asked whether I would correct(add) or not. I answered 'mostly not, but I'd think after being dried completely'. And I didn't.

Namsan is well-known as a celebrated mountain in downtown Seoul. The mountain and surrounding area is a public park maintained by the city government. It is a popular spot for a panoramic view of Seoul. Moreover there are a lot of interesting subjects for sketchers at the change of seasons. I sketched diverse sceneries walking along the Namsan Circular Road halfway up the mountain.
